Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Information

  • Device Information: Basic information about your browser type, operating system, and device type may be collected through standard HTTP headers.

Information You Provide

If you choose to authenticate with our Service, we collect:

  • GitHub Account Information: When you sign in via GitHub OAuth, we receive your GitHub username, email address, and profile picture. We use this to identify your account and do not access your repositories or code.

How We Use Your Information

  • Operate and maintain the Service
  • Track aggregate usage statistics for plugins and components
  • Improve the user experience based on usage patterns
  • Authenticate users who choose to sign in

  • GitHub: If you sign in with GitHub, your authentication is handled by GitHub OAuth. See GitHub's Privacy Statement.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session if you choose to sign in. These cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled.

We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.
